Figures from - Mapping and prioritizing a regional climate corridor network in the Amazon basin

Interactive Figures

The following figures are interactive versions of those included in the New Venture Fund project - Mapping and prioritizing a regional climate corridor network in the Amazon basin.

It is important to note that the are not exact replicates, but all of the information included in them is the same.

Figure 1

Summary figures of the study region.

Reading layer `Provinces_with_conductance_stats' from data source 
  `C:\Users\cwbei\Dropbox\Osa Conservation\Data analysis\Amazon_climate_connectivity\data\regions\Provinces_with_conductance_stats.shp' 
  using driver `ESRI Shapefile'
Simple feature collection with 11 features and 16 fields
Geometry type: MULTIPOLYGON
Dimension:     XY

Projected CRS: SAD69 / UTM zone 22N

Figure 2

A map of biome wide conductance and summaries by province. Where conductance represents movement potential for biodiversity throughout the Amazon. High conductance (darker colors) represents greater movement potential and low conductance represents lower movement potential (lighter colors).

Important note this layer has been down-scaled to allow plotting.

Figure 3

Corridor characterization summaries. Where, ‘Least cost paths’ = least cost path density (number of paths per 10 km2) based on a total of 2217 least cost paths throughout the region; ‘Circuitscape’ = current flow output in percentile bins. Higher current flow represents greater ecological movement potential (i.e., more corridors).

Figure 4

Summaries of priority areas (circuitscape) and corridors (least cost paths). Where, ‘circuitscape’ = high-current flow areas as define by circuitscape analysis (≥ 80th percentile), including both unprotected and protected locations; ‘least cost paths’ = least cost paths by priority level. Shown here are 115 high-, 834 medium-, and 1,268 low-priority corridors based on the principal components analyses. High resolution figures are stored here (link); interactive map hosted here (link).
